Abstract
Background
The efficacy of trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) + bevacizumab compared to FTD/TPI for treatment of refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) was demonstrated in the SUNLIGHT trial. This analysis of SUNLIGHT investigated the impact of treatment with FTD/TPI + bevacizumab on patient quality of life (QoL) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS).
Methods
Questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-C30 and EQ-5D-5L) and ECOG PS assessments were conducted at baseline and on Day 1 of each treatment cycle. Time to definitive deterioration (TTDD) of QoL and time to ECOG PS worsening between treatment arms was assessed. A repeated-measures mixed-effects model was used to compare changes in QoL and ECOG PS from baseline. Kaplan–Meier and Cox regression methods were used to assess TTDD of QoL, time to ECOG PS worsening to ≥ 2, and overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients maintaining an ECOG PS of 0-1.
Results
Both treatment arms showed similar QoL scores from baseline to cycle 6, with no clinically relevant change over time. Patients receiving FTD/TPI + bevacizumab had a longer TTDD of QoL than patients receiving FTD/TPI, as well as longer time to ECOG PS worsening. In patients with maintained ECOG PS, median OS and PFS was prolonged in the FTD/TPI + bevacizumab arm compared to the FTD/TPI arm.
Conclusion
This analysis of SUNLIGHT showed that patients treated with FTD/TPI + bevacizumab had no clinically relevant changes in QoL, and prolonged TTDD and time to ECOG PS worsening, compared to patients treated with FTD/TPI.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Colorectal Cancer is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal that publishes original articles describing various aspects of clinical and translational research of gastrointestinal cancers. Clinical Colorectal Cancer is devoted to articles on detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of colorectal, pancreatic, liver, and other gastrointestinal cancers. The main emphasis is on recent scientific developments in all areas related to gastrointestinal cancers. Specific areas of interest include clinical research and mechanistic approaches; drug sensitivity and resistance; gene and antisense therapy; pathology, markers, and prognostic indicators; chemoprevention strategies; multimodality therapy; and integration of various approaches.
